WDR Rockpalast has released professionally filmed video footage of Dirkschneider, featuring frontman Udo Dirkschneider (U.D.O., ex-Accept), performing on August 18th at Summer Breeze 2018 in Dinkelsbühl, Germany. Watch below:

Udo Dirkschneider is featured in a recent interview with United Rock Nations. He discusses the new U.D.O. album, Steelfactory, the departure of guitarist Bill Hudson, who was replaced at least temporarily by former U.D.O. member Stefan Kaufmann.

U.D.O. will release their new album Steelfactory on August 31st worldwide via AFM Records. An official video for the new song "One Heart One Soul" is available for streaming below.

With Steelfactory, U.D.O return to their core competence, clearly influenced by their past shows with Dirkschneider, the songs in their rousingly simple straightness have a hymn character, as it is only known from the past.

Steelfactory has become a timeless metal album and thus the impressive statement of a master of his craft. With its earthy, punchy and handmade sound - with the participation of the Danish producer Jacob Hansen (among others Volbeat) - Steelfactory meets the nerve of the time, which may be triggered again since the successful Dirkschneider tour worldwide.

Steelfactory will available in the following formats:
